A slip disc in the L5-S1 region can cause pain, numbness, or weakness in the lower back and legs. Treatment may include physiotherapy, pain relief, and lifestyle changes. It's best to consult an orthopedic specialist or a neurologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Fever and body pain.. Cold

Male | 19

When you're sick, your body fights a virus, leading to symptoms like fever, aches, runny nose, and cough. To recover, rest, drink fluids, and take it easy. If needed, use over-the-counter meds for relief.

Hello, this is regarding a complicated problem Please let me know if a surgery is required for this or not Because different doctors said different stuff Can we cure this from physical therapy and rest?

Female | 46

Some conditions can be resolved through rest and physical therapy. Be sure to tell your doctor what you’re experiencing, such as pain or difficulty moving. Knowing the cause of the problem can help determine whether or not an operation is required. You must follow the advice of your physician regarding the most appropriate treatment for yourself.

Diagnosed with bulging disc yesterday they sent me home with meds they are not doing anything for the pain and I lost my balance alot yesterday day and feel down a few times should I go back to the hospital

Male | 56

A bulging disc pressing against nerves can cause pain and affect your balance. Falling is dangerous. You better go back to the hospital. They might have to change your medicine or try something else.

I was having back pain since 1 year i visited orthopaedic i also did my MRI my reports were normal i completed the medication given by doctor.When i was on medication then i did not have pain and now the pain again has started once i was done with my medications. could it be nerve problem due to which i am facing pain?

Male | 27

Perhaps your backache is associated with nerve injury. I recommend that you see a neurologist for an accurate diagnosis and treatment. They will perform further tests and establish what is causing your pain.

Hi, I am 14 years old and I have had pain in my knee for months now and I am a gymnast and sometimes when I land there is a shot of pain that goes straight through my kneecap and it feels like it just breaks and then it will hurt for about 5 minutes and then I will be fine. I can’t lunge or squat without it hurting and we have tried a lot of things but nothing is working. Thanks!

Female | 14

Your knee pain could be due to ligament sprains or tears, tendonitis or a meniscal tear.. Its common cause of knee pain in young athletes often caused by overuse or repeated stress on the knee joint. It can cause pain around the kneecap that worsens with activities like jumping or squatting. Contact a specialist to get it checked thoruoghly. You need to rest your knee to avoid pain and activities that aggravate your symptoms. Try using ice packs or a cold compress for 10-15 minutes to help reduce pain and swelling.
